Equipment.—The work offered re-establishes the instruction outlined in the
first curriculum of the University, 1818, the earliest proposal for instruction in art,
architecture, and music in any American University. An unrivalled background
is provided for it by the buildings and environment of Charlottesville; the University
group, with its old buildings specially designed to furnish examples of the
various orders "as specimens for the architectural lectures," its new buildings
designed by Stanford White; the works of sculpture by Houdon, Ezekiel, Bitter,
Borglum, Keck, Shrady, and Aitken; the paintings and prints presented by
Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan, John Barton Payne, John Armstrong Chaloner and
others; the concerts and exhibitions of paintings brought to the University with
part of the income of the McIntire fund. For the current work in Art and
Architecture there is generous provision of casts, books, photographs and lantern
slides.

For music, the school has two concert grand pianos, an Ampico reproducing
grand piano and an orthophonic victrola. A full set of band instruments purchased
and maintained under the supervision of the Alumni Association, double
basses, kettle drums, and various other unusual instruments for the use of students
in the orchestra, a comprehensive library of chamber music, orchestral scores
and parts, operas and piano classics, as well as books of reference on musical
subjects and collateral reading. There are also available for the Music School
a three-manual Skinner organ in Cabell Hall and a three-manual Moeller organ,
the gift of Paul Goodloe McIntire in connection with the McIntire Amphitheatre,
and a two-manual practice organ in the University Chapel. The following gifts
have been made to the musical library: by Mr. Iredell Jenkins, a valuable collection
of operas, oratorios, light operas, piano music, first editions; by Professor
Gardner Lloyd Carter, piano music and books on musical subjects; by Mr. Charles
Orchard, a set of biographical works.
